LANCASTER, NEW ERA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2004 B5 Local Ethanol He said the ethanol plant would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for several days of maintenance each year. The plant would operate much like a distillery, he said. The next hearing is scheduled for 7-10 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, at the Bainbridge Fire Hall.

Scheduled topics are truck and train traffic and production of carbon dioxide. 22 and was made by an attorney representing Nissley Vineyards. During testimony Wednesday, Charles Strehl, Penn-Mar's project scientist, said the plant would withdraw a maximum of 925,000 gallons of water a day from the Susquehanna, returning about one-third of it. No contaminated water would be put back in the river, he said. The returned water would have Nissley Vineyards to suggest the supervisors make total screening a condition in a permit, if it is granted.

The 56-million-gallon-per-year capacity of the proposed ethanol plant would not be the nation's largest. A "fair number" of ethanol plants that size have been built, said Richard Veazie, of Lurgi PSI, the plant's designer. a maximum temperature of 90 degrees, well within state regulations, Strehl said. Penn-Mar's landscape architect, Carla Ferrell, said there would be a 100-foot-wide screen of mixed trees and shrubs fronting the property. In answer to a question, she said parts of the complex would still be visible from Route 441.

That prompted Judy Nissley of "I have an 8-year-old son ready to start boating," said Matt Samms, 30, of Millersville. "I don't want this to affect him and have him ask what happened to the river." Inside, Conoy solicitor Michael Hohenadel delivered an unpopular decision when he ruled that residents beyond Conoy Township could not have standing to cross-examine Penn-Mar witnesses. Public officials with the county, Marietta Borough, East Donegal Township and Hellam Township in York County do, however, and residents were advised to funnel questions through them. Hohenadel said he would consider a request from John May, chairman of Manor Township supervisors, who voted unanimously this week to seek standing in the hearings. Hohenadel said he has not yet made a decision on whether Conoy supervisors chairman Stephen Mohr should remove himself from ruling on Penn-Mar's permit because he owns land Penn-Mar needs to cross with a water line.

The call for Mohr to step down came at the first hearing on Sept. SITOTMFR PPT PAGES Continued from Bl Not even the Bainbridge Fire Company's sawy decision to begin selling vegetable soup, frosted cupcakes, hot dogs and other goodies seems to have leavened the dry rhetoric and technical jargon. The most contentious debate so far has been over whether Penn-Mar's choice of landscaping will really hide the complex and whether the screening mix includes trees prone to breaking in wind storms. At least outside, a new splash of color was added to the ongoing hearings on the conditional-use permit that Penn-Mar needs to build the plant. Four members of the 300-member Conewago Canoe Club shouldered red and yellow kayaks emblazoned with anti-ethanol-plant slogans.

They maintain that the ethanol plant would pollute the river they love to play in and would infuse it with chemicals that would rot their gear. newspapers ik-rvi jl iuai a mut jbl a a AAmh i per supplies DISCOUNT PCT FOOD SUPPUtS is UtNCnSTCA, PA 1519 litit Pike BRING IN VOUft PCT FOR SPCCIAl City man indicted for possessing gun "A NIC HOT BRTH" SLF-SRV DOGGIC WASH OPCN 7 DHVS A UJCCK WON.

On Wednesday, a city man was indicted for doing just that. And now, prosecutors say, if Raymond Lydell Speller, 23, of 521 Chester is convicted, he'll face a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison. Speller is the latest Lancaster County person to be indicted under Project Safe Neighborhoods, a joint initiative between federal, state and local prosecutors.

The goal of Project Safe Neighborhoods is to prosecute firearms offenders in federal court where, if convicted, sentences are usually stif fer with the hope of deterring others. The indictment, announced Wednesday by Lancaster County District Attorney Donald To-taro and U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan, alleges that in February, Speller possessed a 9 mm handgun loaded with eight rounds of ammunition. The federal grand jury was told that Speller had been convicted earlier of three counts of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and one count of criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.

The case was investigated by city police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and has been assigned to K. Kenneth Brown II, who is both an assistant district attorney and a special assistant U.S. attorney. Your Pet Supply Superstore!
